Continued above-seasonal temperatures have forced the cancellation of holiday break ski and snowboard camps, originally scheduled to run from January 2 to 5, 2007, at the North York Ski Centre located in Earl Bales Park on Bathurst St. and the Centennial Park Snow Centre on Centennial Park Rd. Registration fees for the affected programs will be refunded.

Staff are monitoring the weather forecasts and hope to open the ski and snowboard facilities as soon as weather permits.

Anyone planning to ski or snowboard at either facility should call 416-33 TO SKI (416-338-6754) or visit http://www.toronto.ca/parks for up-to-date information about snow conditions.
